I'm sure I could call hospitals etc. but I am looking for a new support group iany tips on New York City support groups where times etc. if anyone has the time to inform me. I would love to hear about it also attend.

how does that work after you have the extra skin removed? I know that I have to wait about two months

I was on that for a short time I guess 10 years ago and I had the same problem but this was prior to my surgery.

don't give up! You're doing all the right things. Everyone tends to lose weight differently. I honestly believe everybody is different so sometimes low-carb diets work for others and gluten-free for other people etc. stick to what you're doing maybe even if you can't hold down the food try to get in 1200 calories. You may be burning too much. That's what happened to me. shows like the biggest losers don't show that accuracy. I wish you luck!! Just believe in yourself and again don't give up!!!!????

❤️❤️❤️ Yes I'm going to look into it again.(I believe it was a year or two ago I did some research for work) I want to thank you and everyone on this site for their advice. I can't believe how fabulous everyone is looking!!!

Thank you!! I love Dr. Capella!!! I went to a lot of surgeons and decided on Dr. Capella to do my surgery!

lol. Maybe I went overboard with the gloves but I heard peroxide helps with the itching . The gloves I got for my tubes; when I need to drain them… My doctor told me to have gauze. it's in my notes but forgot why. They will provide me with compression garments but he doesn't feel the necessary. I'm having the work done by the left,flankadplasty, branchiopasty and finally breast. All done at once I feel that I also need my inner thighs done but he said that the body lift should take care of it. I used to look extremely young and now I don't. So scared, but I am debating a facelift. I'm going to listen to you about the compression garments ; are ace bandages do is okay for the arms? They will provide me one for my abdomen and I have an extra one here. I guess I just need to order something for my boobies. I'm taking two months off from the gym I hope that's enough time but also hope it doesn't cause any damage.

it looks phenomenal I can't believe that's what eight weeks looks like!

I can't believe it but in less than a week I'm having surgery! The works I'm not even nervous.(I will be if I decide to have a facelift afterwards) I bought bandages ,peroxide gloves and gauze etc. I'm ready. The only thing is my surgeon says I will not need to wear my bandages.. Little nervous taking two months off from the gym. And then if I have my facelift another two months. Does anyone have any tips. I want to make sure I'm fully healed. My surgeon doesn't even recommend in scar gel he said he just doesn't believe in it or some of the massage that the other surgeons recommend it.(they had spas attached to it their offices) In a year he does a technique to get rid of scars in his office . Any tips are welcome. Actually go ahead pylon all the tips you can give me.I will call the office but, I forgot to ask how many ice packs I should have on hand. Thanks everybody. Enjoy your week.

Btw... I know there is also a gel.

Hey actually just read about that in the anesthesia book; I heard it's phenomenal for pain. I heard swelling to last up to six months.(mind you I have yet to have the surgery just what I heard) I heard start taking it to weeks prior to surgery.

Thanks for sharing very useful tips.

What would you recommend to purchase, to have ready prior to my surgery. So far I have made my own ice packs but the doctor said in certain areas I shouldnt apply them. Any tips? Also did anyone gain weight ? Like actually weight ,not retaining water? One of my concerns. But I want to take it easy after the surgery. No reason to pay all that money not to feel are look good?

thanks, it was you who I received the alert from!!

Benadryl and peroxide on helps!
